CCTV News: People come hard and spring comes early, and spring sowing is busy. At present, spring farming production in Shandong Province has been underway, and all regions are seizing the farming season and taking multiple measures to consolidate the foundation for the annual harvest.

As the temperature warms up, more than 60 million mu of winter wheat in Shandong enters the rebirth period. The Shandong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized 18,000 agricultural technicians and industrial system experts to go to the front line to guide farmers' field management. In a flat wheat field in Mengyin, Shandong, an old revolutionary base, agricultural technology experts checked the soil moisture conditions and the growth of wheat seedlings, and explained to the cooperative members the spring management issues such as timely fertilization.

As of now, Mengyin has reserved 12,000 tons of fertilizer, 300 tons of pesticides, 220 tons of agricultural film, and 600,000 jin of seeds of various crops.

In Binzhou, Shandong, the local area has launched the spring farming financing loan model of "core enterprises + new agricultural operators + farmers", which solves the problem of guarantee for upstream and downstream customers through credit transmission of core enterprises. Since 2025, Binzhou has granted more than 320 households with a credit amount of 76.8 million yuan for spring farming. Seize the farming season and carry out corn sowing and interplanting work

As the weather warms up, spring plowing in North China is also underway. In Cheng'an County, Handan, Hebei, local farmers seized the farming season to carry out corn sowing and interplanting work.

In Dadixi Village, Cheng'an County, Handan, a large seeder rumbled past and sowed corn seeds into the field. In 2025, a large grain grower, Hua Zhenfang adopted the corn and cotton interplanting model, and planted more than 1,000 acres of corn.

In the winter of 2024, while the soil was not completely frozen, Cheng'an County organized farmers to use large agricultural machinery to carry out deep cultivation operations, making the soil loose and breathable, laying a good foundation for early sowing of corn this spring.

The local area is also actively promoting interplanting models such as corn soybeans and corn cotton, and adopts integrated sowing, coating and weeding operations, completing the sowing and interplanting process at one time and watering in time to ensure the normal growth of the two crops.

In 2025, Cheng'an County will promote the interplantation operation model of grain and oil crops such as corn and soybeans and cotton for winter and spring, and the sowing work will continue until mid-March. 580,000 mu of spring wheat have begun sowing one after another.

In recent days, various places in Ningxia have actively allocated various agricultural supplies and agricultural machinery to carry out the sowing of spring wheat.

In the thousand-acre farmland in Jinyintan Town, Wuzhong City, several large wheat seeders equipped with Beidou navigation shuttled through it. The seeds of full spring wheat are accurately sown into the land, and farmers measure the distance and sowing depth to ensure efficient completion of the spring wheat sowing task.

In Helan, Pingluo and other places in Yinchuan City, agricultural experts also went deep into the fields to introduce new agricultural machinery and planting technologies to growers and protect the spring sowing work. It is understood that in 2025, Ningxia plans to sow 580,000 mu of spring wheat, and it is expected that it will be completed in March. All localities prepare agricultural supplies and agricultural machinery to ensure spring farming production

When spring farming is prepared, all localities seize the farming season and actively do a good job in agricultural supplies and agricultural machinery reserves to protect spring farming production.

In a family farm in Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, several large tractors are busy shuttleing the fields, ploughing and ridge-raising. The workers were also busy sowing the packaged potato seedlings.

In 2025, Zhongxiang City added 450 new machines such as large-power tractors and precision seeders, and 210 new intelligent agricultural machinery equipped with Beidou terminals, and the social service capabilities of agricultural machinery have been greatly improved.

In Xinjiang, fertilizer companies in many places are also working at full capacity for production. This fertilizer production workshop is busy, and the workers divide the work and cooperate on the production line to carry out material feeding, packaging, and shipping operations in an orderly manner. In order to ensure the timely supply of chemical fertilizers, Xinjiang Railway has increased its efforts to launch special trains for spring farming materials. According to statistics from the Xinjiang Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, by the end of February, Xinjiang had reserved more than 1.4 million tons of fertilizers, reaching about 90% of the total demand for spring farming, and the market supply was generally stable.

In a supply and marketing cooperative in Huan County, Qingyang City, Gansu Province, the reporter saw that various spring farming fertilizers such as urea, compound fertilizers, diammonium sulfate, etc. were neatly placed, and staff were busy transporting agricultural supplies, checking quantity, and answering farmers' inquiries.

In order to ensure the safe and efficient promotion of spring farming production, Tianzhu County, Wuwei City has recently launched agricultural machinery driver training activities, covering multiple local townships and attracting more than 200 agricultural machinery operators and large-scale growers to participate.

As of now, Gansu Province has reserved about 1.53 million tons of fertilizers, about 2,400 tons of pesticides, and about 1.47 million tons of seeds. It is planned to invest 1.1 million units (sets) of various agricultural machinery and equipment for spring farming production.
